THE FILM
INKURA is a film that documents a multi-national effort to save the most endagnered animal on our planet and the largest transport ever of rhinos from Europe to Africa.
The film begins in the Czech Republic, where five eastern black rhinos prepare for the journey of their lives—a flight to Africa, their biological homeland.
THE RHINOS
Five rhinos from three zoos in Europe are the stars of INKURA
THE JOURNEY
4,000 miles (6,440 km) is a long way for a black rhino to travel, and translocation presents its own challenges and risks. This one is uniquely challenging, as it's the largest transport of eastern black rhinos from Europe to Africa ever. There's no guarantee things will go smoothly. In fact, things don't quite go according to plan...
THE URGENCY
There are several factors influencing the urgency and timeliness of INKURA. First, black rhinos are critically endangered. By most accounts, there are only 5,000-5,500 alive in the world and only 900 or so of those are the eastern black rhino subspecies, making their subspecies one of the most endangered animals today.
